Carol Scott, MD

Dr. Carol Scott is a physician first. Across thirty years of emergency-room shifts and internal-medicine rounds, she kept seeing the same thing: good families, with good resources, making consequential decisions on five minutes of attention and ten unanswered questions. The advisory grew out of the after-hours calls that turned into a weekend of listening, reading, and translating, until that quiet work became a practice.

She trained in internal medicine at Duke and in emergency medicine at Johns Hopkins, where she served as Assistant Chief of Service, and she is board-certified in both. What she offers a family is not a second doctor but the seat the system never quite makes room for. She reads the records the way a physician would, asks the questions you would not think to ask, and stays at the table until the decision is made.

The decision is always yours. Her job is to make sure you can make it with clear eyes.
